This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD.
This regular burnt offering is traced back to Mount Sinai and described as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD. The practice stands in continuity with earlier covenant worship.
It grounds the daily pattern in Israel’s established worship history.
1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Command the Israelites and say to them: See that you present to Me at its appointed time the food for My food offerings, as a pleasing aroma to Me. 3And tell them that this is the food offering you are to present to the LORD as a regular burnt offering each day: two unblemished year-old male lambs. 4Offer one lamb in the morning and the other at twilight, 5along with a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a grain offering, mixed with a quarter hin of oil from pressed olives. 6This is a regular burnt offering established at Mount Sinai as a pleasing aroma, a food offering to the LORD. 7The drink offering accompanying each lamb shall be a quarter hin. Pour out the offering of fermented drink to the LORD in the sanctuary area. 8And offer the second lamb at twilight, with the same grain offering and drink offering as in the morning. It is a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
